TROIDINI
(Aristolochia Swallowtail)
Large swallowtail butterflies. ​In the Troidini, the antennae are not scaled. Males generally have a fold of scent scales on the hind margin of the hind wing. Most Troidini larvae feed on Aristolochia plants. Because Aristolochia plants are poisonous to vertebrates, the Troidini are also poisonous and are often mimicked by other butterflies. Adults flap about fairly swiftly. Most species are non-migratory.
